    If you want a law changed, the best way is to enforce it strictly.

    I don't know if that has to do with this or not, but it makes me ask ... why else?

    That article makes absolutely no sense to me!
    It doesn't clearly say why they are ticketing themselves?
    Is it because they don't believe in the parking laws? If so, say it!
    At least six local authorities have issued tickets against their own vehicles - then refused to pay the fines to themselves.
    Who are these local authorities? Are they Council members?

    Then this:
    Mr Segal added: "Councils are so blinkered in their efforts to raise revenue from parking fines they even chase themselves for the money. The whole thing is ludicrous."
    Yeah ludicrous reporting!

    That's hilarious! However having lived in England once I'll testify that the Brits can be very strange people.

    Damn, if it weren't true I'd have thought it was the subject matter of a Seinfeld episode.
